As the U7s girls and boys are new to the sport there are a number of rule modifications which are slightly different to our normal U9s rules which you will need to know. The most important modification is that in U7s the attacking team is allowed their full set of 6 touches regardless of any infringements (drop balls, late passes, etc).

For the U9s competition, the rules will also remain the same as per previous years, but once again if you are new to the sport, we would encourage you to read these rules. The only change is that the defence is not able to move up until the first receiver has caught the ball. The defence can move up if the dummy half runs with the ball.

The following download Play for Lifeis an excellent resource for those new to touch football or just learning the game. It includes a number of skills, drills, game-based activities, training plans and sessions to help you teach the game to U7s and U9s players.

Just a reminder that all U9s competition games are played at Nolan Reserve, North Manly and all U7s games are at Passmore Reserve, Manly Vale.
